There was a delicious catered mexican lunch followed by a gearhead meeting. All of the technical people answered questions regarding problems with the coaches. A lot was accomplished and everyone seemed happy with the results. Doug purchased some Koni shocks to put on the coach and discovered that the windshield is trying to dislodge itself. We already have a crack and now we will have to have the windshield replaced as soon as possible.
The busy day was followed by a great campfire. Everyone brings wood with them (there's not much in the desert) from home and what an interesting collection. We have white oak, avocado wood and plain ordinary logs. The smells are quite interesting.
The evening was topped off with the space shuttle crossing the sky. It was easy to see but only lasted for a few minutes.
Today was just as crazy. We were up early for the games of magnetic darts. I'm not much of a game person, but I tried. I made it to the second elimination and then lost. As soon as we were both eliminated, we jumped in the car to go to Quartzsite. The car was gassed and a few things purchased and we returned in time for the geocache group.
We had the opportunity to geocache at Celias Rainbow Garden. It is part of a 40 acre town park that is dedicated to a young girl that passed at a very early age.
It has become an interesting memorial park for many people. And some of the memorials are very creative.
The cache itself was a four part hunt. We started with a set of latitude and longitude numbers and when we found the cache there was a reference to another set of numbers. This led to a third set of numbers and finally a box of treasures. We signed the log book but left the treasures today.
We were in a hurry to get back to the coach since there was a potluck dinner and I had nothing prepared yet. (shame on me) I whipped up a mexican rice casserole while Doug played with his new gold mining machine. (No gold yet)
Again, the tables were groaning under the dishes that had been prepared. We ate and ate and now we need to get out and walk. These rallies are dangerous for weight watchers.
